Frequently Asked Questions
Can I keep my existing number?
Yes! We support number porting. You can bring your existing BT, Virgin, or TalkTalk business number to our cloud platform and ditch the expensive line rental.
Do I need a strong internet connection?
StartACall is optimized for low bandwidth. A standard 4G mobile connection or basic home broadband is more than enough for crystal-clear HD voice calls.
Is this suitable for a sole trader?
Absolutely. It's perfect for sole traders who want to keep their personal mobile number private while presenting a professional landline number to clients.
What happens if I miss a call?
You can set up voicemail which will be emailed to you as an audio file, or forward calls to another number or team member so you never miss a lead.
